Harassment includes (but is not limited to):

Anyone experiencing or witnessing harassment should report it to Wyrdwood staff immediately. Reports are taken seriously and handled discreetly.

Inclusivity & Accessibility

Wyrdwood welcomes participants of diverse backgrounds, identities, abilities, and experience levels.

The world is designed to support multiple forms of participation, including non-combat, social, creative, and narrative roles.

While Wyrdwood operates in a natural outdoor environment with inherent physical limitations, we strive to make reasonable accommodations wherever possible. Participants with accessibility needs are encouraged to contact us in advance.
